Paying Murphy with diminishing defense for years to come bc of 1 playoff run would be short sighted, I trust Sandy not to make rash decisions

I've long been on the resign Murph wave(since early September), a 4 yr/60 mil deal isn't bad since he'll be 31 next year. His defense is mediocre, but he's a solid 2-3 WAR player; lefty bat, and can be insurance at 3B. Resign him, then throw a 2 year/20 mil deal at Rasmus to platoon with Lagares in CF.

Side note, this is unreal to watch, it's unbelievable that we may sweep the Cubs. I doubt it happens, but it's crazy that the Cubs will go home this quickly.

Southside Chicago
I know there's plenty of fake bandwagon fans who jump on when they start winning but to say there's no real cubs fans is false

There's some real ones, but I vividly remembered back in 2005 many Cub fans did flip to the Sox wagon. I'm a Sox fan all my life, I saw people who were Cub fans jump ship then jump off when the Sox became weak again. Proof that Cub fans jumped ship was that attendance for the Sox matched the Cubs in 2006 and the parade in 2005 had 2 million people which is nearly the population of the entire city. That's fishy because the Southside only has 1 million people by itself and the Sox aren't a universal team like the Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks, so how did we draw the population equivalent of the city to the parade that year? Some of them people who mysteriously popped up in 2005 in the rally and in the stadium in 2006 were DEFINITELY Cub fans who switched not life long Sox fans like me. Some people in 2005 who flipped from Cubs to Sox were on some, "how can you root against Chicago shyt", but Sox fans NEVER asked them to jump on our wagon and never wanted them on it. They did that on their own, so they get mad now when Sox fans don't want to root for the Cubs.

Southside don't owe nothing to nobody, we are the most disinvested part of the town. When the city decides to invest in us and in our schools and small businesses and clean our neighborhoods like they do up North then we can talk about "unity". Aint no unity until we get our amenities. We not getting behind some weak Northside baseball team just because it's the same "city". Hell, we are basically our own city and people cant accept that. Northside and Southside are worlds apart.
